  • Battery Park Wiki the One Standing Today Is 14 Stories Tall and Was Built in by Edwin W
    Battery park wiki The one standing today is 14 stories tall and was built in by Edwin W. Grove , during a time of increased tourism in the North Carolina mountains. It replaced a Queen Anne style hotel [2] which stood feet tall. The name came from the fact that Confederate forces used the site for batteries of artillery. It was designed by Philadelphia architect Edward Hazlehurst in "spectacular" Queen Anne style. Once the railroad reached Asheville in , the mountain town attracted 20 passenger trains a day from the nation's largest cities, and people found out what a wonderful place the community was to visit. One reason for visiting Asheville was the clean mountain air, which helped problems such as tuberculosis. Fine hotels were built, and Coxe's Battery Park Hotel was the best of these. For one thing, its location on Asheville's tallest hill provided magnificent views. The Rockefeller and Lorillard families were among those who stayed in the Battery Park. Another notable guest was George Vanderbilt , who from his window could see the land that would one day become Biltmore Estate. By , the Asheville Citizen reported the Battery Park had changed management three times. Edwin Wiley Grove bought the Battery Park in In he announced that it would remain a resort hotel for winter and summer, while he would add a second year-round hotel nearby. Plans changed later, however. People hated to see the old Battery Park Hotel torn down, but Grove, known also for the Grove Park Inn , built a fine hotel in the same location.

  • The Transformation of the Battery Park Landscape in Asheville, North Carolina: 1900-1930
    GREENE, MARY BENNETT, M.S. The Transformation of the Battery Park Landscape in Asheville, North Carolina: 1900-1930. (2008) Directed by Jo Ramsay Leimenstoll. 65 pp. This research deals with the urban development of Asheville, North Carolina in the first half of the twentieth century and, specifically, the transformation of an urban hillside known as Battery Park. It is a case study of how one person and his beliefs about technology, modernization, and commercial appeal had the power to forever change the city’s form. In a very short time period, E.W. Grove transformed a bucolic twenty-five- acre Battery Hill with a rambling Victorian hotel into a flattened automobile-centered commercial district with two skyscraper hotels. During this period, Grove concentrated his financial investments in this area, and worked diligently through many channels to ensure their success. Focusing on the time frame of 1900 to 1930, this investigation covers the Battery Park changes by combining three methods: the careful study of the existing landscape, historic visual analysis, and the use of traditional archival evidence. The ultimate goal of the project is to address the Battery Park landscape as a physical representation of the changing values in Asheville’s history. The research traces the physical, functional, and technological evolution of this urban landscape and relates these changes to national, regional, and local history. It examines why certain values in Asheville took precedence over others and whether certain themes, such as transportation,

Preface The following case study is one of a series of five investigations of projects conducted by nonprofit organizations to preserve affordable rental housing in the United States. These profiles were undertaken to illuminate the characteristics of subsidized housing and the process by which they are preserved — that is to say, refinanced and renovated. The five subjects of the case studies were selected to represent a variety of geographic locations, communities, and real estate markets; a range of types of tenants: e.g., family, elderly, and formerly homeless; and different types and sizes of nonprofit owner organizations.
